Activities at Hagley Place Care Home
Activities plays a big part in the care we deliver to residents; activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.
Mandy Hayward
I have a long background in the care industry and love to incorporate the outdoors in my activities. This role is very special as it allows me the time to get to know our residents and their families in a deeply personal way.

Big Birthday Celebrations
Mary-Jane organised a big birthday for some of our residents who all had birthday’s within a few days of each other. We basked in the sunshine, danced to music and ate some lovely cakes and sandwiches supplied by our kitchen team.
Easter 2020
We had a fabulous Easter with glorious sunshine. We had an Easter Bonnet Parade organised and designed by the residents. Along with our glamorous assistant our activities team handed out flowers and chocolates to our residents from the General Manager.
Tracy, our gardener and some of the other team members painted a rainbow on our car park for all the residents to see!
Macmillan Coffee morning
On Friday the 27th of September, Hagley place hosted a coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan cancer research. We had a selection of delicious cakes including chocolate, salted caramel, lemon drizzle and Victoria sponge. We had a few games for the residents and families to take part in including, name the teddy, how many berries in a pie and a raffle with amazing prizes.
To add to the excitement of the morning, we also had 'Robert Burton' come to sing and play the accordion for us. We had classics such as 'Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag', 'It's a long way to Tipperary' and 'Roll out the barrel' Everyone cheered and clapped along but by the end we were up dancing!
We all really enjoyed ourselves and raised money for a good cause that will help benefit the lives of others.
Puzzle fun!
At Hagley place we have dozens of puzzles with beautiful pictures. We all worked as a team on this particular puzzle which we eventually finished. One of our residents, Olive, said ‘FINALLY, we have finished this! You know this could be framed and put on the wall'.
Moore Park children come to visit
We had a fantastic time making funky necklaces using beads with the children from Moore Park school. We even had a few for gifts from the children which was much appreciated by our residents.
At the end of the session we were treated by joining in with ‘circle time’ where we all came together to sing our favourite nursery rhymes such as 'baa baa black sheep', 'grand ol Duke of York' and 'humpty dumpty'. One of our residents, Judith, said "aren't they precious? They remind me of when me and my children would sing together."
By the end of the session the children were not ready to go and enjoyed having a game of musical statues’ which the residents laughed and smiled at when they put on their best dance moves.
